Milton Keynes: suburbs from the air
An overview of this square at the edge of the Milton Keynes sprawl.
In the very top-left of the picture you can see the church at Wavendon, which is top-right of the map in the next square northeast. Halfway down the left-hand edge of the picture is the large building just above centre of the gridsquare, which seems to be a school.
Going right from this building, you can see the distinction between 'fenced' and 'unfenced' roads on the map (dotted and solid lines respectively), after which the road proceeds downwards meeting the trunk road at the large roundabout towards the bottom-left of picture.
To the right, the housing development is visible with a clarity that individual roads can almost be discerned, albeit in a complex network, and the railway line can just be made out in the bottom-right corner, along the back gardens of the last houses in the estate.
